This is a product of our time. Don’t tell me it’s normal.

Exactly how many more of these murderous rampages will we endure as a nation before we realize it’s not a matter of the inanimate object in the hands of a criminal, but rather a sickness of the American soul. 

Now I know many of you will scoff at this assessment because the lies are easier to believe. And many will seek a political solution for a problem of the heart. But in the end, we can no longer run from facts, and the accountability that always goes with them.

We have chased “our creator” from our children’s schools and from the halls of government, and all while making excuses for 15 million fatherless homes, calling it the “new normal”. We tear down real history and replace it with a revised version that somehow validates opinions and ideology over facts. And those very voices of revisionism denigrate what we all know are the principles which set our country apart from all the rest. Yes, my fellow Americans, our way of life and our national motto, “from many, come one” are exceptional, and we must defend them from all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

Regrettably, and on this dark day following the celebration of the greatest experiment in the history of the world, I submit to all of you, America itself is in flux. Everything we are hangs on this next election. And not because it’s a Republican, Democrat, red, blue thing. But rather because if we do not turn from our wicked ways in this country, and return to the tried and true ideals that have given us the freedoms many now abuse in the name of some “new world order”, then this republic as we know it will falter. And while I understand this may seem a gloomy assessment of our national posture at the moment, I think we can all agree, that the news of the day supports such an assessment.
